Farrakhan's Nation of Islam to Argue UFOs Are Real

The Nation of Islam, long known for its promotion of black nationalism and self-reliance, now is calling attention to another core belief that perhaps isn't so well-known: the existence of UFOs.

When thousands of followers gather in suburban Chicago this weekend for the group's annual Saviours' Day convention, one of the main events will include a panel of scientists discussing worldwide UFO sightings, which they claim are on the rise.

The idea of seeking the divine in the skies is deeply rooted in the Chicago-based Nation of Islam, whose late leader Elijah Muhammad detailed in speeches and writings a massive hovering object loaded with weapons he called "The Mother Plane" -- although religion experts, Nation of Islam leaders and believers offer very different interpretations of what exactly happens aboard the plane, its role or how it fits into religious teachings.

Farrakhan's loony group shares some beliefs with a part of our own Freeper crowd.

Should this be posted in the Religion forum?

Standing by for the scathing ad hominen attacks for doubting ...

He has seen them from the Mother Ship...

Hey, Baba-Louey may be on to something.

Figures that M******d is from somewhere other than earth.

Somewhere that radiation had totally destroyed morality and logic.

If they are referring to the Ugly Fing Obamas I would sadly have to agree.

Ping to Reverend Wright!

Guess who was born 9 months to the day after Roswell.

Coincidence?

I think not!

[Graybeard58]

Do Farrakhan's murderous brothers in the middle east share this belief?

LOL, I thought the same thing. We have a half-dozen or so who you could replace Farrakhan's name above with theirs and it would be a regular post.

Reverend Farrakhan should be surrounded by cameras from every alphabet network. I hope his every word on this subject is broadcast to every household in America, repeatedly, all weekend long. Saturation coverage of this man is what we need in this country. I’m not joking.

.... Only with Pure Christian Doctrine to substantiate their belief. And an attempt to out us non-believers as heretics.

“The Mother Plane”

Wow! Farrakhan sounds like a black version of Marshall Applewhite!

[5thGenTexan]

No kidding. A reverse Alinsky. No need for us to marginalize them if they are willing to do it themselves.

[FrankR]

This nutjob knows the idiots that follow him will believe anything...ANYTHING. Believing in islam is proof of that.

[freedumb2003]

So we are stuck in the middle of the battle between the evil pedophile prophet’s god and Xenu?

I just want to be Clear... ;) :)

[OwenKellogg]

If only Farrakhan were an Applewhite follower ...

[DoughtyOne]

Farrakhan is perhaps the best evidence yet of space aliens. And if so, those poor space aliens.

LOL FR does have its share of asylum candidates.
